How To Make The Bacon Burger Of Your Dreams

Kate is a writer who laughs at her own jokes and likes to pour too much hot sauce on her food.

Every week on LittleThings’ Facebook Live show Slice, we challenge food experts to create a delicious and easy-to-make dinner for less than $12. This week, we have invited Chef Cenobio Canalizo to the kitchen to put his skills to the test.

Chef Cenobio has over 20 years of experience in the industry and now works as the Executive Chef at the iconic New York restaurant, Michael Jordan’s The Steak House.

The restaurant is almost as legendary as the basketball player for whom it’s named. The Steak House is located in Grand Central terminal, and has become a destination for executives, commuters, and tourists alike.
